Well, I've finally decided to switch over to MH lighting. I've had T5s since I started my tank and after seeing people's tanks with MHs on it, I've...
Well I guess I may have been wrong, but will like to see what other people get too.
Sounds like a pretty good deal, although I am always wary of used bulbs as you really don't know exactly how long they have been used for. You can...
Definitely the Aqua C Remora. It only sticks up a few inches and has a very slim profile. Plus it does a great job. I had one on my 55 for a while...
IMO, 4 stages is good enough. Anything more and IMO, it doesn't do that much. What you want is a carbon filter, sediment filter, RO membrane, DI...
You guys may get something cool or usable, but my guess is that it really will be crap and you probably won't be able to use it.
I prefer using super glue gel, the gel is important as the regular stuff is too runny. I like to use the epoxy for my rocks or larger corals, but...
With that size tank, I would go with the 4 bulb fixture, I don't think you should have problems keeping sps, just use good bulbs.
Agree with Peredhil, all "live rock" means is that the rock has denitrifying bacteria on it. You can get "base rock" in almost any form. My personal...
I agree with this. What I would do is empty the tank and get rid of the sand/substrate. I would soak the rock in a bleach solution to kill any algae...
What type of infestation did you have?
Yea, there's no "standard" kelvin rating. You can buy sodium bulbs that are orange, or 10,000 white bulbs, 12K, 14K 20K etc.
Well, I've seen such a rock in my lfs go for about $80, but it really depends on who wants it. Some people may really like it, others may consider it...
If you have a wet band saw, or know anybody with one, you can use that pretty easily. The water prevents the cells alone the cut from dying as much...
Try to siphon as much as you can out of the tank when you do a water change. How much are you feeding and how often?
Sure you can, it would be easy enough, especially with the old RO unit.
Just because it is a more yellow spectrum doesn't mean you can't use it. Some people prefer a more yellow light. You would probably get pretty good...
I would start at $10 a polyp, see if anybody is interest, if not, you can always lower the price. You could also frag out the colony. IMO and IME, it...
Nice looking setup and nice job so far.
Keep us updated as to how it goes.
